Victory in New Hampshire
Nearly 1,000 jobs in New Hampshire have been created by the wind industry and its activities. Wind farms provide revenues for local towns, school districts and the state's general fund. Wind energy projects benefit many landowners in New Hampshire, including loggers and farmers, who can keep their land open for recreation like hunting and snowmobiling.
Wind energy has also helped lower the cost of energy for consumers in New Hampshire and across New England. In a January 2013 Independent System Operator-New England (ISO-NE) report, New England reported a 26% drop in average wholesale prices since 2003.
